Material Cybersecurity Incidents. On November 18, 2025, Coupang Corp. (“Coupang Corp.”), a wholly-owned Korean subsidiary of Coupang, Inc. (Coupang Corp., together with Coupang, Inc.

Upon discovery, Coupang activated its incident response processes, disabled the threat actor’s unauthorized access, reported the Incident to the relevant Korean regulatory and law enforcement authorities, and warned customers whose data was potentially accessed. Based on investigative findings, Coupang has determined that a former employee may have obtained the name, phone number, delivery address, and email address associated with up to 33 million customer accounts, and certain order histories for a subset of the impacted accounts. To Coupang’s knowledge, the former employee has not publicly disclosed the obtained data. No Coupang customers’ banking information, payment card information, or login credentials were obtained or otherwise compromised in the Incident.

Material Cybersecurity Incidents. On December 24, 2025 (PST) and December 28, 2025 (PST), Coupang Corp., a wholly-owned Korean subsidiary (“Coupang Corp.”) of Coupang, Inc. (“Coupang, Inc.,” “our,” or “we”) (Coupang Corp., together with Coupang, Inc. and its subsidiaries and affiliates, “Coupang,”), issued updates (collectively, the “Updates”) on the cybersecurity incident (the “Incident”) disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Coupang, Inc. with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 16, 2025. The Updates provided, in part, that the perpetrator of the Incident has been identified, is cooperating with Coupang and investigators, and has turned over all devices used in the Incident. Further, the investigation to date indicates that while approximately 33 million accounts were accessed, the perpetrator only saved limited data from approximately 3,000 customer accounts, and such customer data has been deleted without having been shared with a third party. In addition, Coupang Corp. announced a customer compensation program to issue approximately 1.685 trillion won (approximately $1.2 billion) worth of vouchers, starting January 15, 2026, to customers who were notified of the Incident at the end of November 2025 that may be applied towards future Coupang purchases. These vouchers will be reflected as reductions to the selling price and revenue recognized on each corresponding transaction
